GT 660 Display Driver has stopped responding and has now recovered

Hello,
The above is a rough interpretation of the message I got.
Things seemed normal and then the screen would go blank until I moved the mouse (at which point I would get the message). This happened twice and I headed over to this forum when it started happening again and again till I got the BSOD. I am using driver version 270.61 and am now downloading the latest drivers. Prior to this The laptop would freeze or give a red screen occasionally until I forced restart. I was told it could be a dusty GC, but is the display driver not responding problem related to the dusty GC? I haven't cleaned it because I simply don't have the time these days.
Thank you.

red screen occasionally
Meaning? If it's what I think it is: Screen turns red in total?
Then it looks to me your videocard is going bad or overheating.

  • "Display driver igfx stopped responding and has since recovered"

    I own a Satellite A205-S5000, and this morning it starts throwing fits. The screen turns black for a second or two, and then it displays an error message in the bottom right-hand corner reading, “display driver igfx stopped responding and has since recovered”. I’ve searched both Microsoft and Toshiba for an answer, and have yet to turn up a decent solution. The solutions I found said to update my drivers (the most recent driver updates on the Toshiba website that I didn’t recognize were for Windows 7, which I don’t have), or to change some of my graphic settings (which I don’t understand why a computer purchased in 2008 would be having a problem with now and not before). I also read somewhere that it could be from remnants of a virus, but I’ve ran Norton and not picked anything up, and I doubt Malware will either. So, is this something serious? Is it something I need to worry about? Any kind of solution would be appreciated.

    Oddly, I ran Malware (and still didn't come up with anything), shut it down for the night and voilà! I haven't had it pop back up since. Still don't know what caused it to start in the first place, though. :<

  • Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successful​ly recovered

    Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered
    I was getting this error from my new computer i had for 6 weeks. This is the second one laptop I bought that had that error from BEST BUY in FRESNO CALIFORNIA. After an amazing amount of research and looking into my machine they folks at the CLOVIS department decided it was hardware and not software. ...Now..
    I went to the store in FRESNO and the nice gyt behind the counter could not help me because the policy on returns was 2 weeks. I stated it was hardware and not software. I asked for the manager and got this Chinese looking child about 18 years old come to me and said abruptly not our problem, took his bag, flung it over his shoulder and went home. I stood there wondering what am I going to do with this dead machine. 
     FRESNO GEEK SQUAD couldnt figure out what was wrong with it, they couldnt even hook it up to the internet so I could show them. Very annoyed I called my other branch in CLOVIS, there I was treated very nicely, they looked at it for about 2 hours trying to figure out what is wrong. they came to the conclusion that it was probably VISTA. They gave me credit against another machine.
    I actually put another 500 bucks to get a better an another model machine. 
    I have acually spent well over 5000 dollars with Best buy in Fresno and I will not be going back for anything. 
     If anyone is getting that error then take it back in andd get a new machine. 

    So, did you send an error report and check the solutions center at the bottom of the taskbar for a sololution?
    It says you need to update your driver from NVIDIA directly to overcome this issue.

    Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.
    If nVidia and Firefox won't play nice I'm going to have to drop Firefox.
    I believe the problem actually is with nVidia, because installing GeForce 275.33 Driver and earlier WHQL drivers eliminates the problem.
    But changing video cards costs money, whereas changing web browsers is free.
    Hence my statement, "If nVidia and Firefox won't play nice I'm going to have to drop Firefox."
    It is not fair, but it is reality.
    nVidia is ignoring the issue, because it knows we can cheaply bypass their bugs by switching browsers. (With other people they've pointed fingers at power supplies, mother boards, you name it, anything to pass the buck.)
    I am not interested in bypasses. I am only interested in actual fixes.
    In other words no jumping through hoops with manual procedures, driver sweeper, unplugging to stop windows update, or stupid actions like deleting all my Windows Restore Checkpoints, etc. Except for deleting all my Windows Restore Checkpoints I've done all that.
    That nVidia suggest this suggests to me that the bug is actually in their install or uninstall scripts. The problem with their bypass is it introduces race conditions so it does not work on my system or many other nVidia 400 and 500 series graphics cards.
    I've tried all the WHQL nVidia drivers since 275.33 and they all have this problem. So does the latest beta (I seldom ever do betas any more, but I made an exception).
    Do a vanilla clean install using the standard install script included with the old 275.33 nVidia drivers and the problem does not occur.
    If this is not going to be fixed, if we're going to be left with just bypasses, my bypass will be to change web browsers.
    +++ So, can Mozilla somehow please light a fire under nVidia's feet? +++
    I really do not want to change browsers, but it is the cheapest solution by far.

    There are some open bug reports on Nvidia's drivers. We can open a new bug (if you want to go that route, let me know the bug number and I will triage it), but all that Firefox can [usually] do is blacklist the driver so that HWA isn't run on that driver.
    Your best bet (for now) is to disable HWA yourself and that should resolve the crashes

  • Y50-70 Display driver stopped responding and have been recovered

    hi johnny93,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    Can you try these steps:
    1. Uninstall both Intel and the Nvidia Display Driver v353.30 from the Control Panel and reboot.
    2. Install the following drivers in order and observe (reboot if necessary). You can also get them from the D:\Drivers folder
    1st - Intel Video Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
    2nd - Nvidia Video Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
    3. If the problem remains, can you check the status of the system by installing Lenovo Solutions Center or manually run a diagnostic on the GPU and post the results here:
    Lenovo Solution Center (LSC)
      - Sample image
    Individual Diagnostic Tools (see Video Test)
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Display driver has stopped responding . Please help

    When playing the game Aion on the Vista side of my computer, the screen freezes, goes black, and returns. After closing the game, I receive the error message "Display Driver nvlddmkm stopped responding, has successfully recovered"
    I've tried multiple methods to fix the problem, but none seem to work. Is it Vista, or is it the drivers/hardware? If it is Vista, should I try upgrading to 7? I really don't want to pay and upgrade to 7 yet because my Snow Leopard install disks for the Windows drivers are 6 hours away due to the fact that I'm a college kid.
    Any suggestions?

  • "Display ATI Radeon Family driver stopped responding and has recovered"

    For the past few days my laptop Model HP G61-409CA has been displaying broken black and white horizontal lines and black, white, and coloured random squares on my screen. When it freezes the screen and mouse stops moving and the screen goes blank for about 5 seconds then comes back with the error (Display ATI Radeon Family driver stopped responding and has recovered) appears with a yellow triangle. Unfortunetly when i click on the triangle nothing opens up.
    Ive tried to download Catalyst Control Centre because when I researched many people spoke about not being able to find their control centre and that it had something to do with the displaying error on the screen. I cant seem to find the folder or the program on my computer, but when i tried to install something similar from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%207%20-%2064#amd-catalyst-packages less than half way through the computer displayed a Blue screen and had to shut down. Also when i recovered my laptop the problem did not go away.
    My product number : WA964UA#ABC
    OS: Windows 7 for x64 based systems
    Please let me know what needs to be done ive tried updating all my drivers aswell!

    Hi Quesspee,
    Thank you for your query, I am happy to assist you!
    I grasp that a few days ago your  display started  showing broken black and white horizontal lines and black, white, and coloured random squares on your screen . When it freezes the screen and mouse stops moving and the screen goes blank for about 5 seconds then comes back with the error (Display ATI Radeon Family driver stopped responding and has recovered) appears with a yellow triangle. When you clicked on the triangle, nothing happened.
    You tried installing the Catalyst Control Center and approximately 1/2 through, you received a blue screen and your system  shut down.
    You tried doing a recovery but the issue remained.
    I suggest you test for hardware failures.  Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7)
    If this did not help to locate the issue, I suggest contacting HP support for further assistance.  They have the ability to remotely log onto your system, to  help locate and resolve issues.

  • SLI GTX 970 Nvlddmkm "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" Error

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having an issue with driver crashes and was hoping someone on here would be able to help. The error I am getting is: Nvlddmkm "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered".
    My PC specs are:
    Windows 8.1 Pro
    i7 4770k with Corsair H100i
    2x 8GB HyperX RAM
    Asus Maximus VII Ranger Mobo
    2x MSI GTX 970's
    750w Superflower Leadex PSU
    I've noticed that the error usually happens while the cards are cooling down after playing a game, although it has been known to occasionally happen while gaming. I am have MSI Afterburner running and have noticed that the GPU usage spikes up to 100% then the power usage drops completely just before the crash.
    This problem has persisted through 3 clean OS installs so I do not believe it is a driver issue.
    My initial thoughts were that the PSU could be insufficient, but after some reading online my system really shouldn't draw anywhere near 750w. What do you think? I am not totally clued up on PSU's, so not sure if my wiring could also be causing the issue - here's a pic:
    The cards use a single cable that joins both cards for both 8-pins, then two other power cables for the 6-pin. Would this be a problem?
    It's also worth noting that the issue doesn't seem to occur when SLI is disabled. I never had any problems with the original card prior to adding a second card though so I do not think it needs RMA'ing.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance.

    Quote from: Svet on 08-June-15, 17:36:36
    oki remove the second card[your old one] and test the newest card only
    I will try this tomorrow, thanks.
    A bit more info, it crashes with SLI disabled. Just found out tonight for definite.
    Here is a screenshot of what MSI Afterburner shows when it crashes.

  • Msi GT683R "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error.

    I bought a laptop before 6 months, installd windows 7 x64 and everything works fine. Suddenly, five days before I got this eror " Display driver stopped responding and has recovered ... "but the laptop operates normally, when not connected to the charger, the only difference is that the graphics card works only on P8 state 203/606/324. I've tried everything, install new windows, tried all the video drivers back 6 version, tried two different chargers, raised the voltage in the video card, flash the latest BIOS, flash latest EC driver, changed several types of RAM memory, installed win xp x64, all drivers are from MSI's website, tested temperatures (everything is fine, no overheating), blew video card out of the dust, new thermal paste, tried to change the regedit key (Microsoft recommend), the last windows update, etc, etc. I tried to OC video card with MSI Afterburner, but does not want to accept the clock (last nvidia driver version 314.07) ... On various forums I saw that a lot of people have a similar problem, but not the one topic has a problem with the charger. I tried all sorts of modifications to the 3D nvidia utility. Currently I run out of ideas, I thank you in advance for your help!!!

    Hi "I have an MSI G683R and the problem started a month ago, but sometimes pc freezes, crashes or restarts, mainly for running games; temperature problems've never had as constantly monitoring GPU and CPU and never exceed 80 degrees, I have the latest drivers for all devices, besides that I have always been maintained by removing all traces of dust inside the pc.
    I have tested the RAM, hard drive, CPU and passed without any problems, including stress testing the GPU and everything ok ", but as soon as the pc game freezes.
    The funny thing is that this never happens while I play with the battery without direct current is connected, but it is annoying the fact the battery only play for an hour.

  • Display driver stopped responding and has recovered successfully

    Hi everyone!
    I  sometimes have recently  been encountering this error 'Display driver stopped responding and has recovered successfully' .
    This is the version of ATI RADEON Graphics adapter.
    This problem is happening recently (let me say about five months ago)
    I really don't know what may be causing this problem. However, I have created a virtual machine before about only 3 days with these settings:
    Host machine has Windows 7 home premium (64Bit), and the mount of memory available is as follows:
    Physical Memory
    Memory Usage 34 %
    Total Physical 5.95 GB
    Available Physical 3.89 GB
    Total Virtual 12 GB
    Available Virtual 9.43 GB
    Guest machine has Windows 7 home prmium 64bit, and the mount of memory available is as shown below,  I really  needed to this RAM memory size because the Windows  7 got very slow with less than this size.
     Host machine has Graphic adapter with memory size of 6GB
    guest machine hat his video adapter settings below, because I really needed to this video memory size.
    But, as I said I have been facing this error for about five months before VM was created.  Thus, I don't think that the problem is related with VM's video display.
    Also, sometime when visiting some sites containing  video files needing Adobe Flash player, I was faced with that error and the browser got non-responding and then, it got closed.
    It would be highly appreciated if you could help me with this.

    Hi Cooperator ,
    As I see , your catalyst is from 2011.You can use AMD Driver Autodetect Tool.The AMD Driver Autodetect Tool is designed to detect the model of the AMD graphics card and the version of the Microsoft® Windows operating system installed in your computer. If a new driver is available, the tool is designed to help you download it. After a successful download of the driver, the tool will provide you an option to install it.
    Download page:
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool
    After that ,open Catalyst control center, and set your programs to  performance that you want to run.
    It should solve your problem , this error comes when graphic card need more time that win register alow (about 2sec) , and with right drivers , it shoul fix it.
    Wish you good luck and all the best!!!

    Thanks a lot,
    When I tried downloading the tool from that link you provided as circled in this screen shot below 
    After amddriverdownload_installer was downloaded, I run it, then another wndows showed me
    Then after download completed, 
    this show me.
    I found the tool cannot be downloaded due to incompatible hardware/software on my computer,
    Although tool couldn not be downloaded, there are some files in this locatin after clicking install.
    As aside, this window below showed me while downloading the tool, then I don't know what let it show me.
    Is it OK or should I uninstall it if it were installed
    Also, AMD Gaming evolved was installed without asking my permission.  
    It is installed as 'Raptr.exe' in this location  'C:\Program Files (x86)\Raptr'
    Also, whenever my Windows 7 got started, this windows showed me, although I didn't set any account for this, there is accont longins as you see in this screen shot belw.
    This raises another question which is what created this account shown above?

  • Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered - Intel HD (Satelite P75-A7200)

    I am trying to play minecraft on my Toshiba Satelite P75-A7200 running Windows 10 preview build 10130 . The game starts up ok and I can start playing it but then, anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes later the Minecraft window locks up. It shows a "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" error in the lower right of my laptop screen. The Java Platform SE binary process shows as not responding when I open task manager. I have tried updating drivers direct from Intel, The latest would not install onto Windows 10 (Not a valid OS), Changing the Windows TDR timeout in the registry to 8 (no effect), and simply deleting the display devices and file associated with them and allowing the system to add them back. I am out of ideas at this point. Please help.

    When I first got my P750, right out of the box I was having the same type of issue you are describing here. Only mine had to do with playing a dvd in the Toshiba DVD player. Regardless, after many attempts to fix the issue, the following shows a method of how I was able to fix it. It may or may not work for you, all I can say is it worked for me.http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Video-Display/Display-driver-error/m-p/299816 My solution is down near the bottom of page 2 and basically it had to do with Nvidia and Intel driver compatibility. I hope this helps.

  • Satellite A500-1GH - display driver stopped responding and has successfully

    My laptop is the A500-1GH and I bought it 2 days ago...
    My problem is that for the fourth time the monitor went black and then recovered and I'm getting the message "display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered". My graphics card is the Nvidia GeForce 330.
    I would appreciate it if someone knows what should I do to fix this
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Guys,
    I have experienced _*both*_ problems with my A500/O2J with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330m graphics card. Only purchased it Monday 15th February. Everything came factory installed except Office Professional 2007.
    Set it up on Tuesday and it happened within 2 hours of set up, then again on the Wednesday. On the first 2 occurrances the display went black and recovered after a few seconds with a message along the lines of "graphic card driver has stopped responding and has successfully restored" then today (Friday 19/2) the screen went black and didn't come back on. I thought it had gone in to sleep mode but pressing the power button did nothing. After about 20 minutes I got the Blue Screen saying the system was shutting down to prevent unecessary damage and it then proceeded to restart.
    I'm computer illiterate when it comes to this technical stuff and rang the place of purchase who told me to ring Toshiba (133 070). Of course being in the West they are closed so I will have to wait until Monday (1st day back at Uni).
    Not off to a good start....so i hope this problem can be rectifed quickly and without too much fuss.
    My computer specs are as follows;
    A500/O2J
    Intel Core i5 processor
    Windows 7 Home premium (32 bit)
    4GB memory
    500Gb Sata storage
    NVidia GeForce GT 330M graphics
    Karmon/Kardon speakers
    Everything came factory pre-installed except printer and Office Professional 2007 but both were installed after the problem occured the first time.

  • [W500 and Windows 7] ati display driver stopped responding and has recovered

    Hi,
    I installed Windows 7 64bit on my W500 (almost 3 weeks old). It installed a driver for the ATI display card from Windows Update. However, since yesterday, I regularly get a driver crash (I assume...).
    It's happening when I'm scrolling in a webpage, suddenly the page hangs, the mouse and Windows itself hangs seconds later and after that, after 5 seconds, my screen goes black, the machine beeps and it's back. In the tray, I get an error: ati display driver stopped responding and has recovered.
    In the details of the driver, the following can be seen:
    Driver Date: 28/04/2009
    Driver Version: 8.612.0.0
    The card is recognized as a 3650.
    Am I doing something wrong here? Can I test with another driver (I tried installing the Windows Vista 64bit, but it doesn't seem to be willing to install...)?
    Thanks in advance,
    gill

    I have the exact same hardware and software (Win7 64) and I'm getting precisely the same symptoms, screen blanks out when I am scrolling a web page vertically using the trackpoint and the center blue trackpoint scroll button. 
    It's really annoying.
    It also never happens when the laptop is in the dock, or when the integrated graphics are engaged, this only happens when the ATI chip is running and only since ATI released the new Windows 7 drivers.
    Previously I'd ran this box on on Win7 64 but used the Vista 64 bit graphics drivers from ATI and didn't have the problem, but installation was a pain.
